Empire of the vampire jay kristoff6/11/2023 The vivid portrayal of desperation and survival showcases Gabriel’s skill, cunning-ness, and relentless spirit. Combat scenes are brutal and visceral, and, if you are a reader like me, truly cinematic. The thrilling and well-choreographed action sequences rival battle fueled battles that are true to what we have gotten to love in The Witcher. Although the narrative style is like Interview with a vampire, Jay weaves his tale between a younger, still hopeful Gabriel and his older, world worn self, revealing pivotal moments that have shaped both him and the world around him. Gabriel is a complex character, haunted by a grueling past, driven by his quest for love, redemption, and sacrifice. To be bloody clear – the world building in this book is masterful.Īt the heart of our story is Gabriel de León, the last surviving silver saint, a holy order dedicated to combat vampires. It’s a haunting post – apocalyptic landscape where ancient ruins loom, monstrous creatures lurk, and survival is key. The world starts off with the sun being a fading memory and vampire reign being supreme over humanity. My cheeky comparisons are outlined as follows: Empire of the vampire is like a potion brewed with some of our favorite ingredients The Witcher, meets Game of Thrones, meets Interview with a Vampire, whilst staying true to our classic portrayal of the vampires we got to know in Dracula.
